Let the Fire Stoops talk begin...
- Thread starter CyInSoonerland
- Start date
Why would anyone at Oklahoma ever think of firing stoops? The man has played with one of the hardest schedules in college football for the past 9 years, one of those years he and the team won a national championship. He has taken the team to the national championship 4 out of those 9 years.(2008,2000,2003,2004). 7 out of those 9 years, he took the team to a BCS bowl game, a feat in itself. In his time at Oklahoma, the man has 102 wins and 23 losses for a .814. There aren't many coaches that can play that level of ball and win 81.4% of the time. Yes, he is at oklahoma, but look at the schools he has to compete with for recruits each year, and then play each year. The man does not deserve to be fired, if anything Oklahoma should be giving him a contract extension.
In the national championship 4 of the last 9 years and some sooners would want him fired? seems a little ridiculous to me.
the people that want him fired are the ones who buy their soooners clothes at walmart and cant name anyone else on the team except sam bradford. basically people that you ignore on a daily basis.

Looking at the Okie fans, they looked pretty depressed and esigned to the inevitable at the end. Thta is five years of vactions with a losing effort. They might be better off going to a smaller bowl next year after Bradford goes pro. Tebow may be back for Dan fans.
Must be a nice problem OU has...
If you think about it, you want your coach taking you to bigger and better things. Thats why Dan McCarney was let, err resigned. He brought us to a certain level and couldn't take us further.
Stoops can consisently win Big XII championships and get his teams to BCS games or National Chamionships (the farce that they are anyways)
What he has not be able to do with any form of consisentcy is win the Bowl games he gets them to. He's one 1 of 4 national championships... Florida has just won what, 2 in 3 years?
Not to say the Stoops is a poor coach by any means, or that I'd agree with his being fired, I'm just saying if you step away from the fact that they get to the national chapionship game frequently... what the "Fire Stoops" comments would be based on is the desire to take their program to the next level.
And it just so happens that the next level for them is winning National Championships, not just playing for them... (Which is a situation that we as Cyclone fans can only dream about)
Like I said at the beganning of this ramble - must be a nice problem to have

What I saw, at least this year, was a very uncertain quarterback on Bradford's part, one who didn't run the fast paced offense that I'm used to seeing. He seemed completely out of his league in this game, more like a high school quarterback than a Heisman winner. The sooners were missing their number one runner due to injury which really changed how they played the game. What Bradford should have done is taken the Tebow route, holding on to the ball and running once in a while, what he did instead was to do nothing except for passes and handoffs. Oklahoma was also missing one of their starting D tackles, a very big loss when you consider who they had to defend against. What was Stoops supposed to do, go to Bradford and tell him that he's playing like a girl, afraid to get take a hit, and take the Heisman winner out of the game? I'm sure that one would go over real well with the fans and the press. The loss really came down to the quarterbacks. Tebow was willing to step up and get hit once in a while. Bradford, on the other hand, needs to hand back that heisman and hit the weight room so that he can even dream of doing the same.
Can you even imagine the love a coach would get at ISU if he had the success Stoops has had. OU fans should count their blessings.
I'd agree with that...
Thanks, now I know what excuses I'll be fed on Monday... assuming the Sooner of the office decides to show his face (He'll be taking **** from the Gator fans here, and **** from me for poor representation of the conference)
Not really excuses, more just reasons why stoops shouldn't be fired for the performance of his wannabe Tebo...,I mean 'Heisman-Winning' quarterback. Florida rightfully won last night(although I might argue about a certain 3rd play of the game)...if you can't bring it on game night, it doesn't exist.
You talking about that broken up pass?
And I mean the excuses the OU guy is going to feed me as to why "OU lost even though they're the better team..."
Not the broken pass. The pass ended by a guy from Oklahoma being steamrolled because he was reaching for the ball and the guy from Florida hit him before he could touch the ball. I personally think there should have been a PI called.
I would love it. It would definitely help us out when we get them back on the schedule in 2010. Other than that, I can't think of any reason to get rid of him.
So the real question is...if the Sooners do fire him, as stupid as that might be...
Bob Stoops for DC?
Bob Stoops for DC?
I will have to disagree with you there. If ISU were in OU's position right now, there would be ISU fans out there calling for Stoops' head. Not reaching expectations, regardless of how high they are, will cause the fanatics to want change.
What the heck are you talking about? You're waaay off on so many things here.
Bradford out of his league? He completed 63% of his passes for 2 TDs against the mighty Gator defense. I'll forgive the 2 INT because his receivers probably should have come up with both of those. Tebow's 2 INTs on the other hand, just bad decisions.
You really expect Bradford to be able to run like Tebow? I guess every QB in the country should be able to do this. Why doesn't Arnaud just take off and run like Tebow does? You see how ridiculous that sounds?
Bradford is afraid to take a hit? Apparently you didn't see the OSU game when he went airborne at the goalline and got hammered in mid-air. Oh yeah, and he played 1 1/2 games with a torn ligament in his left thumb.
The last comment I bolded might be the dumbest thing I've ever read.
